The twelve capital stories which make up
| ssTrue Stories of American Wars will fur
| nish rich feast for patriotic boys and girls.
They are compiled from old records and fam
| lily traditions. In every family in the older
States there are legends of the old Indian
wars which have never been written. The
tales of the Revolution, the battles and
marches are fresher and more vivid, though
few of them have been told outside the fam
lily circle or the localities where they oc-
Cured. Every town along the coasts of
Connecticut and Massachusetts has its tradi-
tions. From this great mass of material the
authors represented in this volume have
drawn the narratives here given. Among
them are the story of the capture of General
Prescott, the narrative of the raid of the In
dians upon Royalton, VT, in 1880, etc. Most
of the stories are illustrated. D. Lothrop 6
Co., publishers, Boston. For sale in this

Sherwood frequently compares them. The

rant of them. They are stimulants, but not
in the least unwholesome. D. Lothrop &c
Co., publishers, Boston. For sale in this
